We have not been able to locate an addendum to the report.

We had difficulty tracking down the report, but someone found it Someone located the report at the bottom of this city website -https://www.toronto.ca/business-economy/industry-sector-support/events/bidding-hosting-strategy/

Here's the relevant text from that website:

FIFA World Cup 2026

The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup is one of the world’s premiere international sporting competitions. Held every four years, the World Cup is recognized for generating significant economic, cultural and community benefits for its host cities and country and increasing host cities’ profiles on the world stage.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 will be the largest World Cup ever, with 48 teams competing. Under the current plan, the United States will host 60 matches, while Mexico and Canada will each host 10.

Toronto is shortlisted to be one of Canada’s FIFA World Cup 2026 hosts with other venues in Canada, the United States and Mexico. Toronto is expected to host four to five games and stage major fan events across the city for the duration of the tournament. Discussions are underway with other levels of government regarding cost-sharing arrangements and support. The host cities are expected to be named in 2022.

The exact dates of the tournament have not yet been set.

On Human Rights

The City and FIFA share a commitment to human rights and equity in all parts of our work. As part of Toronto’s host city bid, the City was required to undergo a human rights focused evaluation by visiting FIFA delegates in late 2021.
